Dissent no longer tolerated in US

If you aren’t outraged and if you don’t think this can happen in your State, you are a big part of the problem. BTW - the woman assaulted for exercising her 1st amendment right to question government and assaulted by unidentified men at the direction of the government was a medical doctor. https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/woman-forcibly-removed-from-kootenai-county-republican-town-hall-idaho-politics/277-904f755d-05f6-4822-9592-ec41dc030df3

... Read moreDissent, an essential element of democracy, is increasingly coming under threat in the United States. Events like the recent forcible removal of a woman from a Republican town hall meeting in Idaho illustrate the climate of fear that discourages individuals from voicing dissenting opinions. This incident raises fundamental questions about free speech and government accountability. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to peacefully assemble and express dissent. However, when individuals who exercise these rights face hostility or violence, as witnessed in Idaho, it sends a chilling message that dissent is no longer welcome. Understanding the implications of such actions is crucial for all citizens. It is vital that we recognize our role in protecting these rights—not only for ourselves but for the health of our democracy itself. Amidst growing tensions in various political environments, we must remain vigilant and advocate for civil liberties. Engaging in dialogue, community activism, and supporting organizations dedicated to defending free speech can help counteract this trend. The consequences of silencing dissent are profound and far-reaching. As citizens, we must unite and safeguard the principles of liberty and justice that this nation was built upon.

Awful! The speaker had primed the crowd as she was being forcibly removed, and they cheered. A blatant assault on someone exercising her first amendment right to speak!

Things Healed Women No Longer Tolerate
Healing changes your standards. Things you once tolerated begin to feel impossible to accept because growth teaches you what peace, respect, and real effort actually look like. When you heal, confusion becomes unattractive, chaos becomes exhausting, and bare minimum treatment no longer feels enough

✨You’re Not Too Much…You’re Becoming Aware🤍✨🌸
There comes a point in healing where you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Not because you’re lost… but because you’re no longer willing to be who you had to be to survive. You start noticing things you once tolerated. You feel things you once buried. You question things you once accepted

You need to let go of them 🧍🏻‍♀️💭
Some people only liked the broken version of you The one who stayed quiet The one who tolerated everything Now that you’ve grown, they act distant But that’s not your problem to fix Let go of what no longer honors your peace You’re not hard to love You were just around the wrong people

Becoming the best version of yourself will cost you things you once thought you could never live without. It will cost you comfort, old habits, and sometimes even people you believed would walk with you forever. Growth has a quiet way of clearing your path, and sometimes that means saying goodbye—t

Day 2 of the Prayer Challenge ☕️ The battle doesn’t begin with striving. It begins with repentance. Today, we’re withdrawing agreement from what no longer belongs— from lies we believed, compromises we tolerated, and habits that quietly replaced surrender. Repentance isn’t shame. It’s a turn.
